Values & Philosophies
Health at every size (HAESⓇ)
Root to Bloom follows a weight-inclusive paradigm that respects body diversity and centers health without focusing on weight loss. HAES® guides our work in promoting care, autonomy, and body trust for all.
Inclusivity
Root to Bloom strives to create a welcoming, affirming space for people of all body sizes, races, cultures, genders, sexualities, abilities, and backgrounds. We honor the full complexity of each person’s identity and work to ensure that care is respectful and rooted in cultural humility.
anti-oppression
Root to Bloom practices from a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive lens that recognizes how systems like patriarchy, racism, fatphobia, and ableism shape our experiences with food, body, and health. This means we center lived experience, honor cultural and identity-based wisdom, and actively work to create a space that supports healing, justice, and liberation for all bodies.
accessibility
Root to Bloom believes food and movement should be flexible, compassionate, and accessible to every body. That means honoring individual needs, capacities, and lived realities—whether it's navigating chronic illness, disability, trauma, culture, or limitations in time and resources. We support approaches to eating and moving that are adaptable, sustainable, and rooted in care, not perfection.
At Root to Bloom, we believe…
Food is a human right, not a privilege.
There is no “wrong” way to have a body.
All bodies deserve access to rest, joy, and care.
Health is not a moral obligation, nor is it a measure of worth.
We believe bodies are political, which means we believe…
Black Lives Matter.
In a free Palestine.
Trans rights are human rights.
No one is illegal on stolen land.
Queer folks deserve safety, celebration, and autonomy.
Disabled bodies are valuable and worthy of care and visibility.
Fat bodies deserve respect, dignity, and healthcare free from stigma.
Body liberation is inseparable from racial, gender, and economic justice.
We are committed to ongoing learning, accountability, and action as we work toward a more just, inclusive, and liberated world.
